Chapter 360: Screenwriter of the Movie

The later contact and understanding broke Tong Yan's fantasy, and the film and television adaptation of the super-long online novel is really a more difficult thing than the game adaptation, it turns out that people are actually aiming at the short story of the case he wrote before.

"Diao Yinan? Haven't you heard of that name? Director Diao's assistant met with Tong Yan and set a time, hoping that he could meet with Director Diao in person, he wanted to talk to him, Tong Yan was not sure, so he chatted with Ma Zhen, after all, the source of this matter was him, Tong Yan's purpose in writing this article was to deal with club activities, and it was he who organized the activities.

Ma Zhen, who recently completed two more short stories and successfully published them in suspense publications, said that he was very unfamiliar with the name Tong Yan.

"I haven't seen the two movies he directed, "Uniform" and "Night Train", right?"

"I've never heard of it." Ma Zhen shook his head.

Tong Yan patted his thigh: "That's it, but later people said that when this director was a screenwriter before, he wrote "Love Malatang" and "Love to the End" with others. ”

"Hey, these two have heard and seen it, and they are very well-known," Ma Zhen squinted his eyes and said, "Then why is he looking for you, do you want to buy the adaptation rights of that novel?" ”

Then he denied it himself: "It's unlikely, you are also based on real deeds, and he can just adapt the original case directly." ”

Tong Yan reminded: "But my story is very different from the original case. ”

"That's okay, as long as he insists that it is based on a real case, unless he makes a movie that is exactly the same as your story, and what capacity does your short story have, and what capacity does a movie have, and there will definitely not be a lot of overlap between the finished film and the story, and it is unlikely that it will not constitute plagiarism." Ma Zhen's analysis is straightforward. He is not only deeply skilled in criminal investigation, but also involved in the law.

"Then he probably just wants to talk to me." Tong Yan said with a smile.

Ma Zhen said bitterly with a fat face: "Why doesn't the director want to talk to me, I think my story about the broken corpse case of Jinling University is also very good." ”

"Otherwise, if you come with me to meet the director, I'll give you a chance to recommend yourself."

"It's really fake."

"Of course it's true."

Considering that Tong Yan was only a college student, director Diao Yinan personally ran from the capital to Jinling and made an appointment to meet them in a small teahouse.

Diao Dao is in his thirties. looks quite tall and handsome, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an actor, he exudes an artistic atmosphere in his courtesy, he is followed by an assistant, and Tong Yan is surrounded by Ma Zhen, who came to support the scene.

It was also a little rainy that day, and the four of them sat in the teahouse, listening to the rain, tasting tea, and talking about things. The mood is good.

The assistant introduced the author of the article, Tong Yan, to Director Diao and the assistant, and Tong Yan introduced Brother Ma Zhen, the president of their reasoning club, to Director Diao and the assistant, saying that his creation was inseparable from the help of Brother Ma Zhen.

Ma Zhen hurriedly waved his hand: "What did I do, writing is your business." ”

He guessed that the two in front of him might not have carefully investigated Tong Yan's other identity, so he directly revealed it for Tong Yan, hoping to add some weight to the things to be discussed in the future.

"You may not know it, my junior brother also has a pen name Tong Yan Wuji, Diao Dao You may not pay much attention to the Internet. Nowadays, online novels are particularly popular on the Internet, which are written in a more commercial way. Writing some very refreshing novels may be almost artistic, but there are a lot of people who read them, and Tong Yan's fame in this field is definitely this. Ma Zhen gave a thumbs up.

Diao Yinan was still confused, his assistant's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "It turns out that you are Tong Yan Wuji." has been looking up for a long time, and sure enough, it is the same as the legend, young, handsome and talented. ”

He glanced at Director Diao and made an analogy: "This is a well-known writer, young but highly accomplished." If you compare novels to movies, traditional literature is art films, then online novels are commercial films, this Tong Yan's status in China is equivalent to Feng Xiaogang and Feng Dao, and I have read all his books. ”

Now Diao Yinan understands that the young and excessive young man in front of him is not a mortal, his original plan, the framework of this short story is very in line with his latest script, and even coincides with some of his previous ideas, the two are blended together to form a new script, which should be very good.

But for such a short story, it's not worth buying the copyright, because what he uses is just a rough framework, and the details and plot have to be re-compiled and filled by him, but straightforward take-or-or-it-or-leave-it is not his style, after all, even if he rewrites the script, he can't get around the framework in Tong Yan's story, so he wants to talk to this kid and give him a title of script coordinator, of course, if the script can't be made into a movie, it is estimated that this script coordinator can only be an empty word, and there will be no salary, but, If the film can really start filming and win awards, he will not only get a salary, but also fame.

But now, Diao Yinan feels that the estimate he provided can't impress this young so-called online god.

He smiled and said to the assistant: "Go back and find me his novels, and I will also look at the books you young people read." ”

Zhao Ying, who discharged Song Rao's best friend and is now in the entertainment industry, Tong Yan This is the first time to deal with people in the entertainment industry, and he doesn't see it: "Director Diao, I have watched your "Love Malatang" and "Future", and I will look back at "Uniform" and "Night Train" to accept literary and artistic edification. ”

Diao Yinan waved his hand: "If you can't watch it, don't force it to watch, literary films are really boring, sometimes I look back and watch my own movies, and I feel unbearable." ”

Tong Yan smiled at Director Diao's honesty, people can say that, he can't be so agreeable, he can only say, "If you can't read my online novel, don't embarrass yourself." ”

The two looked at each other and felt that they were in the right temper.

"This meeting, I think you should already know, I was a little touched after reading your "Don't Return", "After greeting for a while, Diao Yinan began to get down to business, "I planned a new script after "Night Train", the script was inspired by American writer Hawthorne's "Mr. Rockfield", and the story is about ......"

Before Diao Yinan finished speaking, the two college students opposite spoke at the same time.

"Yes."

"I know."

Diao Yinan was a little surprised, plus some surprises, Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" may have been read by many students, after all, it is a must-read work for middle school students, but even Hawthorne's short stories have been read, and the reading volume of these two students is also amazing.

Diao Yinan nodded and continued: "I had a little idea at the beginning, but after watching your "Don't Return", my thoughts became clearer and clearer, and I probably had a bottom in my heart about what story to shoot, I liked to work with people when I was a screenwriter, but since I became a director, the scripts were written by myself, but today I want to make an exception, Tong Yan, are you willing to complete this script with me?" ”
